chapter 469: chapter 166 hidden truths

one must know that the formation was a fourth rank formation.

it was specifically designed for use against nascent soul cultivators, and although it might not have been perfect due to the materials used, it was not far off from a true fourth rank formation.

unexpectedly, under the assault of the red tribulation lightning, it failed to last even a single breath.

after the formation shattered, the red tribulation lightning struck down towards lin jing’s head without any impediment.

lin jing hurriedly circulated his overlord divine physique, intensifying the golden radiance around him, doing his utmost to resist the descending red tribulation lightning.

this bolt of red tribulation lightning persisted for a full three breaths before it finally dissipated.

once the tribulation lightning had vanished, the mountain peak where lin jing stood had been sheared off substantially, and the originally red mountaintop had turned even more crimson.

this was because even the rocks themselves had been melted by the tribulation lightning, transforming into glowing red magma.

at this point, to withstand that first bolt of tribulation lightning, lin jing had used up quite a bit of spiritual power.

so, lin jing quickly took out a flawless yellow dragon elixir from his space ring and swallowed it.

after swallowing it, a warm current created by the elixir’s liquid flowed down into lin jing’s abdomen.

lin jing then took this opportunity to quickly sit down cross-legged.

hoping to recover as much as possible.

…

…

but not much time had passed, and lin jing had not yet fully recovered when,

he sensed a rumbling within the tribulation clouds above, a sign that the next bolt of tribulation lightning was about to strike.

consequently, lin jing got to his feet, his eyes fixed on the clouds above, ready to face the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning.

“boom!”

the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning arrived just as lin jing had anticipated, right on schedule.

fortunately, lin jing was already well-prepared.

this fifth bolt was strong but could not truly harm lin jing.

after the fifth bolt had passed,

the sixth bolt of tribulation lightning followed in quick succession…

the sixth bolt caused lin jing some injuries.

afterwards,

lin jing took out another flawless healing pill, the huansheng elixir, from his space ring and swallowed it.

after taking the huansheng elixir, lin jing swiftly sat down cross-legged again, ready to recover…

however, just as lin jing had sat down cross-legged,

the color of the tribulation lightning in the sky changed once more.

from red to purple.

and this time, the lightning came swiftly.

just as lin jing had sat down and began his practice, not even completing two cycles, the seventh bolt of purple tribulation lightning struck.

this seventh bolt was utterly sudden,

giving lin jing no time to react, and there had been no warning at all beforehand.

when the hundred-zhang-thick purple tribulation lightning cleared, it revealed lin jing, who had been struck until his flesh was lacerated and his skin split open.

moreover, over lin jing’s wounds, purple arcs of lightning scurried incessantly, continuously damaging the wounds to prevent them from healing.

thankfully, lin jing’s overlord divine physique healed at an astonishing rate. although the purple arcs were destroying it, his skin still rapidly restored to its original state.

next, lin jing swallowed another yellow dragon elixir and a huansheng elixir.

preparing for the upcoming eighth bolt of tribulation lightning.

at that moment, lin jing also brought out the shield he had obtained from the puppet guild leader, rotating it around himself.

this eighth bolt of tribulation lightning took quite a while to gather.

however, the longer the lightning charged, the more powerful it became.

as the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning descended, it was still a column of purple lightning, but now accompanied by black arcs of lightning that twirled around it.

after the eighth bolt of lightning struck,

lin jing swiftly brought out the shield to defend.

however, the shield lasted only a single breath before it was shattered by the tribulation lightning.

then, unimpeded, the lightning bore down on lin jing.
